Initiated transfer of 13,000 Citibank (USA) ThankYou points to SQ at 14:46 in California on Sunday, April 23. Transfer arrived at 23:18 in California on Monday, April 24 and were available for immediate use.

Transfer time = 32 hours, 32 minutes.

(Oh and by the way, the United flight I wanted disappeared at around the 26 hour mark...!)

I transferred Citi Thank You points and Chase Ultimate Reward points and both transfers posted within 6 hours. That allowed me to snag what appears to have been the last saver award business class seats SFO-SIN before the devaluation.

HSBC SIN transfer to SQ

I initiated transfer more than week ago. Miles have not arrived yet. Is this normal?

HSBC Hong Kong requested on 24 May, Customer Service says it takes 4 to 6 weeks (which is ridiculous).

Has anyone got any experience with HSBC Hong Kong?

Chase UR took 2 days. First time transferring into KF.
US AMEX transfer done at the same time as my Chase transfer still hasn't made it. Been about 4 days. An award I'm interested in is about to become available too!

Has anyone ever had any luck getting a transaction ID or referral number from AMEX for the transfer? I've contacted KF and they can look into it/expedite it but AMEX doesn't seem to have nor know anything about it.

Edit: And literally an hour after writing this post, poof, they appeared. So AMEX took 4 days to post into my KF, also first transfer

Praying for US AMEX to transfer quickly (first time), have an suites award on hold. Any idea if they'll grant me an extension on the hold?

edit:

DP: AMEX(US) took 30 hours
